The Richmond Gazette rather boasts of having seven or eight persons that were able to puss a satisfactory exam­ ination for certificates. Mow many t6ok ottt Mrtt Grade certificates? According to the Inter-Ocean the District of Columbia pays the highest wages for male teachers, being an average of 9190 per month. Nevada comes next with #11S, then Arizona with $110. The lowest wages paid Is •IS, and Alabama is the stain that thus rewards her teachers, and Mississippi omries next with an average of $30, In Illinois, the average .gariee $ald female teachers, is 933. • As the supreme want of the Ration ie good citizens, so the supreme need of the people is good common Rchoois. Illiteracy is a curse, but that style of teaching whleh produces mental dis­ tortion, moral insensibility, careless habits, and reckless characters is no lees a corse. Between bad teaching and do teaching at all there is but a narrow margin for choice. Of the two however, the latter is to be preferred. Be? Dr. Hill, ex-president of Harvard College and a well-known and trusted authority on education, has said that the three things most important to be taught in the public schools are sonnd morals, good English, and elementary mathematics. The school which teach­ es these well and thoroughly, gives a good common school education; the school which fails in either of the three makes a vital failure. The child who has thoroughly learned these, win, since good morals Include habits of In­ dustry, acquire of its own accord all the further education which its abili­ ties and its opportunities allow. "Any one who pretends to teach, and don not read an edueational paper or magazine, is not worthy the name of teacher, and should leave the profles- iilon at onee to make room for some .Duo who wilt do what he should."-- *JPr,o(.
